Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Sourcing

I saw this in GAN and debated quickfailing, but I see you are new to the process and decided to give you feedback instead so you have a chance of a succesful review in the future. The sourcing here is unacceptable for GA, you cite multiple self-published blogs and a site that's literally just images of the station with no context. Reference 11 returns a 404 not found page. You have excellent quality sources in the bibliography, but barely use them at all. The article says almost nothing about the station between its opening and closing; in fact, that's literally all you say. It opened, it closed (and I'm assuming "interface" is an error in translation, as that word is never used to denote a train station in English). Nothing about the fifty years in which it served passengers, surely there is something that can be said about usage (did it also serve freight?), passenger numbers, improvements to the station, what trains served it, and similar? If I were reviewing this, I would immediately fail it. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid this will be a quickfail. I left comments on the article's talk page two weeks ago, but the nominator has ignored them while editing elsewhere. Therefore, I have no choice but to fail the nomination, as it is nowhere near ready for GAN. On January 4, I said:

All of these concerns remain unaddressed, and the article would need major work to be anywhere near the GA requirements. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
